  • Anatomy and nomenclature of murine lymph nodes: Descriptive study and nomenclatory standardization in BALB/cAnNCrl mice.
    Journal of immunological methods, 2006
    Co-Authors: Wim Van Den Broeck, Annie Derore, Paul Simoens
    Abstract:

    Murine lymph nodes are intensively studied but often assigned incorrectly in scientific papers. In BALB/cAnNCrl mice, we characterized a total of 22 different lymph nodes. Peripheral nodes were situated in the head and neck region (mandibular, accessory mandibular, superficial parotid, cranial deep cervical nodes), and at the forelimb (proper axillary, accessory axillary nodes) and hindlimb (subiliac, sciatic, popliteal nodes). Intrathoracic lymph nodes included the cranial mediastinal, tracheobronchal and caudal mediastinal nodes. Abdominal lymph nodes were associated with the gastrointestinal tract (gastric, pancreaticoduodenal, jejunal, colic, caudal mesenteric nodes) or were located along the major intra-abdominal blood vessels (renal, lumbar aortic, lateral iliac, medial iliac and external iliac nodes). Comparative and nomenclative aspects of murine lymph nodes are discussed. The position of the lymph nodes of BALB/cAnNCrl mice is summarized and illustrated in an Anatomical chart containing proposals for both an official nomenclature according to the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria and English terms.

  • Anatomical studies on the skull of the domestic rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) with special reference to the hyoid apparatus.
    Journal of Veterinary Anatomy, 2012
    Co-Authors: F. M. Farag, S. M. Daghash, E. F.m. Khalifa, M. M. Hussein, S. M. Hagrass
    Abstract:

    The present work was conducted on 14 of local breed rabbits as well as on 12 New Zealand White rabbits. After preparing the specimens, different methods and techniques were conducted in a trial to produce clean bony specimens. The most suitable method used in the present investigation was cleaning by Dermestid Beetles then degreasing and bleaching using hydrogen peroxide. All characteristic features of the various parts of the axial skeleton in the rabbit were described and discussed with those recorded by other authors having performed earlier studies on rabbits and cats. Nomenclature in this thesis was adopted according to Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria (2005).

  • Illustrated Veterinary Anatomical Nomenclature
    Canadian Veterinary Journal-revue Veterinaire Canadienne, 2009
    Co-Authors: Baljit Singh
    Abstract:

    This excellent book contains figures that depict nomenclatures of more than 6500 Anatomical structures and covers major species of domestic animals. Although there is a separate collection of Anatomical terns in the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria, the lack of figures in that book makes it difficult to follow the terms. This book has contributions from eminent veterinary anatomists such as Professors Georghe Constantinescu, Robert Habel, Wolfgang Sack, Oskar Schaller, Paul Simeons, and Nestor de Vos. The book is divided into sections such as Osteologia, Myologia, etc. each term is described in English and corresponds to a clearly drawn picture on the facing page. The book also contains a section on general terminology. The index is comprehensive and easy to use. The proofreaders have done a high quality job. We know that students and new veterinary anatomists are finding it increasingly difficult to wrestle with the meanings of Anatomical names. This is an excellent reference and primary source book on veterinary anatomy nomenclature for teachers and students alike. This book should find its place in each anatomy laboratory, veterinary medical library, and in the offices of veterinary anatomists. I wonder if it would be useful to develop an accompanying DVD that contains the figures in color.

  • Morphological Analysis of Lymph Nodes in Odontocetes From North and Northeast Coast of Brazil
    Anatomical Record-advances in Integrative Anatomy and Evolutionary Biology, 2014
    Co-Authors: Fernanda Menezes De Oliveira E Silva, Juliana Plácido Guimarães, Jociery Einhardt Vergara-parente, Vítor Carvalho, Ana Carolina Oliveira De Meirelles, Miriam Marmontel, Juliana Shimara Pires Ferrão, Maria Angélica Miglino
    Abstract:

    The morphology and location of lymph nodes from seven species of Odontocetes, of both sexes and different age groups, were described. All animals were derived from stranding events along the North and Northeastern coasts of Brazil. After the identification of lymph nodes in situ, tissue samples were analyzed for light and electron microscopy. Vascular volume density (VVD) and vascular length density (VLD) were evaluated in the mesenteric lymph nodes. Lymph nodes occurred as solitary nodules or in groups, varying in shape and size. In addition to using the nomenclature recommended by Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria, new nomenclatures were suggested based on the lymph nodes topography. Lymph nodes were covered by a highly vascularized and innervated capsule of dense connective tissue, below which muscle fibers were observed, inconsistently, in all studied species. There was no difference in VLD among different age groups. However, VVD was higher in adults. Lymph nodes parenchyma was divided into an outer cortex, containing lymph nodules and germinal centers; a paracortical region, transition zone with dense lymphoid tissue; and an inner medulla, composed of small irregular cords of lymphatic tissue, blood vessels, and diffuse lymphoid tissue. Abundant collagen fibers were observed around arteries and arterioles. Germinal centers were more evident and developed in calves and young animals, being more discrete and sparse in adults. The morphology of lymph nodes in Odontocetes was typical of that observed in other terrestrial mammals. However, new groups of lymph nodes were described for seven species occurring in the Brazilian coast. Anat Rec, 297:939–948, 2014. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

  • Illustrated Veterinary Anatomical Nomenclature
    2011
    Co-Authors: Oskar Schaller
    Abstract:

    In this reference work, more than 6,500 structures named in the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria (N.V.A.) are depicted and defined, aiding the user in understanding anatomy and in clarifying its concepts. On the right page, are detailed Anatomical drawings, on the left page are the terms with a short explanation. The arrangement of the content adheres strictly to that of the N.A.V. and focuses on the gross Anatomical structures of the cat, dog, pig, ox, sheep, goat, and horse. Completely updated to incorporate any new nomenclature.
